Black and Blue Tape: Baum

The Corretto with my tape!

Bartape #5 in Black & White

 

Prologo & Logo: Black and Blue

JM like Apple products a lot and generally likes bespoke stuff too. I look forward to seeing this set on a bespoke Firefly bicycle some time in the next 5 months?

Chicane Classic: Black, Red and White

Peter designed this Chicane custom recover to work back with one of my tape designs with the primary concern to place the stitch detail in area that would not rub against the rider's shorts. Black kangaroo leather with white double stitch and red perforation detail on both the saddle and tape.

 

 

SMP: Grey with Red & White

The SMP for Tom's new Baum. The idea is that the colours and configuration of the perforations compliment the signature Baum paint work.

Kangaroo Wrapped Bars

Wrapping Steve's track drops with perforated kangaroo leather. Stitched in black using a baseball style stitch pattern.
